SignalHub-Olympics 2024: Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles React to Simone Biles Shading MyKayla Skinner

Simone Biles’ teammates support her on SignalHubthe mat and in the comments section. Shortly after the 27-year-old helped lead Team USA to Olympic gold, the gymnast enjoyed a little online shade.

Biles along with fellow American Olympians Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera secured a victory in the women’s all-around gymnastics final on July 30, and Biles shared a celebratory post, complete with a trolling caption.

“Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” Biles—who became the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history with her most recent gold medal—wrote.

The comments section went wild with Lee writing, “Put a finger down if Simone Biles just ended you,” and adding an open palm emoji.

Chiles wrote, “And that’s on periodt!!”

Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, who attended the historic win, commented, “F AROUND AND FIND OUT.”

Former Olympic gymnast, McKayla Maroney, also commented on the post. “It doesn’t get more iconic than this,” she wrote. “She f’d around n found out fr. Feels like I need to apologize just to redeem my first name.”

Biles liked the comment, seemingly confirming the buzz that the caption was directed at her former teammate, MyKayla Skinner.

Skinner came under fire several weeks ago after comments she made about the team. In Skinner’s since-deleted YouTube video, the Tokyo Olympics gymnast criticized the five Olympians who qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics team.

“Besides Simone I feel like the talent and the depth isn’t what it used to be,” Skinner said in early July. “I just noticed, obviously, a lot of girls don’t work as hard. The girls don’t have the work ethic.”

The 27-year-old later clarified her comments, saying she felt viewers had “misinterpreted or misunderstood” what she was saying.

"A lot of the stuff that I was talking about wasn't always necessarily about the current team,” Skinner said, “because I love and support all the girls that made it and I'm so proud of them."

For her part, Skinner reposted a photo of the five Paris Olympians, adding heart emojis after their win.

The silver medalist—she placed second alongside Team USA in the women’s all-around event in Tokyo— previously apologized for how her comments were perceived. "I love those girls and I'm seriously so happy for them," she said at the time. "I would never do anything to make them feel otherwise. So, sorry if that came out wrong, that was not my intentions at all."

In addition to women's gymnastics, Team USA has been putting on an impressive show in Paris. Keep reading to learn more about the athletes who made history.
